Yemeni airstrikes slowing Houthi advance, analyst says

Political analyst Abdul Sattar Al-Shumairi said that airstrikes by Yemeni military aircraft and drones targeting various areas are limiting the advance of Houthi militias.

Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya FM, he added that both manned and unmanned aircraft have played a role in countering successive Houthi offensives in Jabal Han and other mountainous areas near the western coastal region.

He noted that these strikes are curbing the militia’s advance, which disregards human life by sending children and deceived individuals to the front lines, allowing them to loot and seize homes of Yemeni citizens in areas they reach.

Al-Shumairi added that Yemeni armed forces and resistance groups are focusing on securing mountain highlands and protecting the mountain ranges that serve as a gateway to Aden, while also cutting off Houthi supply routes.
